The Adventure:
With two departure times, you can enjoy an earlier start from our Taumarunui depot and ride the rails first. Travel through the first 10 tunnels on the line including the longest 1.5 km tunnel. Arrive at Tokirima to your welcoming lunch then board our shuttle to be taken down to the Ohinepane Landing to enjoy the afternoon skimming along the Whanganui River on our jet boat listening to the stories and history from our local skipper/guide as you journey back to Taumarunui.
Alternatively, start later in the morning and board our shuttle to the waiting jet boat at Taumarunui's Cherry Grove. Journey down the river to the Ohinepane Landing before your short shuttle ride to lunch at the old Tokirima Station. You will then board your RailCart for the fun 30 kms on the rails back to Okahukura, enjoying the longest tunnel last. A short shuttle ride will return you to our Forgotten World Motel depot in Taumarunui. Truly unforgettable.
